* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts - Adam Smith keeps giving you magic when all you really need is keys or gold.** The game's clever mechanic is that drops items indirectly proportional to the actual amount. Healing or gathering items when very low is easy. Topping off at 100% is hard.

Also, one clever mechanic the game uses is that drops items indirectly items' drop rates are inversely proportional to the actual amount. Healing or gathering how much you already have. Getting a lot of items while low on them is easy, topping off when very low you're 99% full is easy. Topping off at 100% is hard.extremely difficult.
